Zoo Paradise celebrates the FIFA World Cup with soccer items

Zoo Paradise has just released a set of animals and a new habitat, all in the theme of the FIFA World Cup. The World Cup is the largest viewed sporting event in the entire world, and will be held in South Africa from June 11 - July 11, 2010. It is the largest soccer tournament, and is only held every four years. Likewise, the Zoo Paradise items will only be available until July 12th. The new items include three new soccer playing animals, a Soccer Field habitat, and 24 international flags to show off your favorite team's colors. Take a peek at the new items below:

Zoo Paradise is the first game we've seen that has released soccer items for the World Cup, but we suspect that it won't be the last. Unfortunately, to participate in this celebration you will have to pay Facebook Credits. which is likely to upset Zoo Paradise players who like to spend time rather than money to enjoy the game.

What do you think of the new soccer items? Does it make sense to have soccer animals in your zoo?
